Brief Title: In-Vivo Activated T-Cell Depletion to Prevent GVHD
Official Title: In-Vivo Activated T-Cell Depletion to Prevent GVHD
Study ID: NCT00594308
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare the effects (good and bad) of the medication basiliximab in combination with cyclosporine with cyclosporine alone for the prevention of graft-versus-host disease. This research is being done because there is no completely safe and effective prevention for graft-versus-host disease. It is known that cyclosporine helps with GVHD but we would like to know if the addition of basiliximab will decrease the incidence and/or severity of GVHD after a transplant known as nonmyeloablative ("mini" transplant).
